Hi everyone,
this week i started my first project with raspberry pi 5 and an pironman 5 max case and just waiting for my SSD to arrive, so i can start.
Meanwhile, i was reading into this topic and found out, that the Pironman 5 Max HAT only supports PCIe 2.0, which would be fine, but i was wondering if I can upgrade it to 3.0 somehow. Maybe it’s worth mentioning, that i don’t plan to use the second M.2 slot right now, since prices are a bit high… but maybe later want to do something with the Hailo-8 or setup a raid system.
- Did any of you experiment with this case and different HATs?
- Or did anyone found a workaround to activate and effectively use PCIe 3.0 with this HAT?
- Are you recommending to use it at all or just stick to the slower 2.0 variant, to be safe?
I am planning to run this Pi as Media- and Gaming-Server and might put some other stuff on it, just to experiement with it.
My System:
- Board: Raspberry Pi 5 16GB
- Case: Prionman 5 MAX
- SSD: 1x Samsung 990 Evo Plus 2TB
- Power: Orig. R.Pi 27W USB-C Power Supply [EU-Plug]
- Other: no extras attached yet
I’m looking forward to hear from you! 
Greetings
